At Kadic, the students have gathered watching a film. In it we see a woman cowering in a corner while an alien tries to eat and kill her. Before it could, a man shot it through the stomach thereby killing it. The woman then walked towards the man and kissed him. The movie then ended. The students then cheered as the lights came on.
"Boy, am I glad that's over." David said.
"Right...you don't care for horror films. Yeah...guess some people can't take them." Usopp said with his knees shaking.
"Students! Your attention please. I would like you to give a warm welcome to the director of the movie you have all seen and found...interesting. Please welcome the man here to talk about cinema, James Finson." Delmas said as a man approached the stage.
"I'm also here to seek out a location for my next movie. I've heard about an old abandoned factory that would be perfect." James said.
"A factory? Oh no, not ours." Jeremie said.
"This is not good. If he finds out about the supercomputer, we're through." Miu said.
"No sweat. I know exactly how to turn him away." Ulrich said walking off to talk with him.
5 minutes later…
"Please tell us he's changing location." Mark said.
"No, he isn't. He wants me to show him around." Ulrich said.
"Great…you became his tour guide." Fuyuhiko said.
"Actually master, if Ulrich is able to make sure Mr. Finson doesn't see the Supercomputer or the elevator that leads to all the equipment, we should be able to keep the factory's secrets safe." Peko said.
"She's right. Plus we could come up with lots of things to scare him off." Pit said.
"He's a horror film maker. It's not going to work." David said.
"David's right, scary will only draw him in." Mark added. "Unsafe working conditions, on the other hand…"
"You mean...sabotage the factory on purpose?" Mina asked.
"Hmm...it might work. He's not going to want a lawsuit on his hands." Usopp said.
"Yeah, yeah!" Mark replied. "All we have to do is keep him away from the rooms where the technical parts are. So, we make it look like the elevator is unsafe and he'll just stick to the safe parts! It's a win-win!"
"How the heck are we gonna do that?" Flamberge said. "Well, I could always cut the elevator cables with my sword and…"
"NO! If you cut the cables, that means the elevator will crash down to the supercomputer floor! Damage central!" Ibuki said.
"Exactly. Which is why we're going to simply make it stop mid-way." Mark explained. "No one likes getting stuck in elevators, right?"
"Okay...how about we move away from the elevator. We could always try sabotaging his equipment." Usopp said.
"That would just get us arrested." Hope said. "I know. Ulrich, why not try and persuade him not to film the factory by making up stuff?"
"Not a bad idea. I know a couple of things that might change his mind." Ulrich nodded.
It was later as the film crew was setting up that Ulrich was talking to Finson about the factory.
"You should really reconsider. This place is crawling with rats." Ulrich said.
"Rats? Perfect. I have a lot of scenes with rats in them." James said.
The group secretly watched from afar.
Hope facepalmed and sighed. "Well that backfired…."
"It's like I said before. This guy lives on horror stuff." David said.
"Don't worry Hope, it's not that we're gonna tell you this was a bad idea." Odd said. "It's just we now know to never let Ulrich handle stuff like this."
"...and I'm sure that after a couple of years, the Uranium stored under here won't be radioactive anymore." Ulrich continued talking with James.
"Sure. Do you know where that freight elevator leads?" James asked.
"That thing stopped working ages ago, but when it was working…" Ulrich said as they heard noises. "Did I mention that there is an old rumor that this place was haunted by ghosts but I don't believe a word of it?"
"This place gets better and better." James said.
Up above…
"That was a close one." Hope said.
"Yeah...still nothing phases this guy. He's never going to leave." Pit said.
"Just so long as he doesn't get any interest in where the elevator leads, we should be safe." Peko said.
"You seem to know a lot about this place. How about being the Technical Advisor for the film?" James asked.
"All right then. I'll be your technical advisor. But the principal won't let me skip classes." Ulrich said.
"You just leave him to me." James said.
Later in Jeremie's Room…
"So he let you join, right?" Kazuichi asked.
"On the condition that Sissi gets a part in it as well." Ulrich said.
"Ulrich and Sissi. An onscreen romance. How romantic." Odd said.
"You're joking. She won't leave me alone for one second." Ulrich said.
"Regardless, Ulrich now has a way to keep Mr. Finson away from the supercomputer." Peko said.
"Oh, I just know that the setting of this movie is gonna be crazy." David said.
"Yeah, could be another Alien movie. But…" Hope said. "I'm just worried that Ulrich might be in for a rough time."
"He's just gonna be the technical advisor for James and Sissi's with him on set, how hard can it be?" Kazuichi asked.
Later at the Factory…
"Cellphones?" a woman asked the two.
"Yes, we have cellphones." Sissi said.
"Confiscated." she said taking their cellphones.
"You see, we don't allow cell phones so people won't leak to tabloids or the media." a man working on set said.
"But what if we need to call our parents?" Ulrich asked.
"Never a problem with James Finson around." the man said.
"Isn't this romantic? You and me, isolated from the rest of the world." Sissi said.
"Yeah. Real romantic." Ulrich said.
The film crew then gathered around a tarp.
"Now allow me to introduce the main character of the film." James said pulling back the tarp to show a life like alien monster underneath. "This is my best work yet. I even made it able to shoot a sticky goo."
"Wasn't this thing in another alien movie?" Ulrich asked.
"My creations are original." James said offended a bit.
"Mr. Finson. I was wondering if I could get my script. I wanna start working on my lines. We big stars like to be prepared." Sissi said.
"Here you go." James said handing her a sheet of paper.
"Aaaah!" Sissi read in confusion.
"You got it. You'll be the alien's first victim. 20 seconds on screen but 20 minutes of glory." James said.
Sissi just growled with anger at what he said. Later that night, as most of the film crew went to sleep, Ulrich slipped out with Sissi secretly following. As they both passed the alien, a black smoke crawled from the cables and entered the alien bringing it to life. Ulrich then arrived at the supercomputer.
"Jeremie? Jexi? Anyone awake?" Ulrich asked.
"You know what time it is?" Jeremie said.
"Sorry, they confiscated my phone. Finson's so paranoid." Ulrich said.
"Well, well. What kind of weird place is this?" Sissi said arriving.
"Please tell me that wasn't just Sissi I heard?" Jeremie groaned.
"Listen Sissi, do you think you can keep this a secret?" Ulrich asked.
"Or what? It's not like there are any spiders down here. Or, don't tell me…a monster will spit goo on me?" Sissi scoffed.
Just then, some goo and thread fell onto Sissi. She and Ulrich looked up to see the alien and a swarm of green spiders. The two then ran to the elevator and shut it.
"Ulrich? Ulrich!" Jeremie shouted. "I'll have to contact the others."
Jeremie then contacted the others as they headed to the factory.
"Keep quiet, we don't want the film crew to realize we're here." Mark whispered.
"Man… This place gives me the creeps…" David muttered.
"It's the set of a horror movie, what were you expecting?" Pit asked as they saw a few of the green spiders scurrying about. "Spinarak."
"Seriously, Chrysalia. This set is creepy enough as it is." David said.
"Ah...something just leeched onto me." Kaminari said trying to get several small yellow tick creatures on his back.
"Those are Joltik. They seem attracted to you, Kaminari. You are basically a walking power battery." Sachiko said.
"Well get off!" Kaminari said.
"Foolish battery! You cannot discard us. We're part of Chrysalia's jailer squadron. You cannot just…" one Joltik said as Sachiko grabbed a broom. "She's got a broom!" they said before they all jumped off.
"Yeah, you better run." Sachiko said. "Still, why do I get the feeling they're not done with us yet…?"
"Cause whenever there are smaller jailers...there are normally head jailers with them." Ruby said. "I speak from my experience in Avia."
"What's the evolved form of Joltik again?" Jesse asked.
"That would be...Galvantula!" Leia said.
They looked up to see one crawling across the ceiling before dropping down before them. "What's this? Seems we have intruders here." Galvantula said.
"Yep. I knew it." Leia said.
"Of course you would. You have one on your Pokémon team, after all." Jude said.
"Same here. From the Wild Area." Sectonia said.
"King Pineco has asked Head Jailer Ariados and myself to capture the Dimensional Heroes! Oh...but I went and leaked it." Galvantula said.
"So sorry, but we're not going anywhere." Sachiko said.
"If that's the case...Electroweb!" Galvantula said firing an electrified web at them.
Sachiko was able to slice apart the web with her twin blades. "I've got this. You guys go on ahead."
"You've just become my prey, girl!" Galvantula said charging at Sachiko as the others ran ahead.
"Whirlwind!" Sachiko said as she dealt multiple slashes before spinning mid-jump and performing another strike.
"Gah!" Galvantula cried out as he took heavy damage.
Sachiko switches to her broadsword. "Twin Moons!" she said as she performed an X-slash.
"Gh…how strong…are you?!" Galvantula asked.
"I stood against Crusadermon and Leopardmon of the Royal Knights. I'm not afraid of you." Sachiko said.
"Too bad that won't help against me!" a voice said as thread was shot at her as she dodged as she saw a red spider on the ceiling.
"Ariados. Urgh… I'm getting flashbacks from Viperia." Sachiko said.
"Really? I have a brother in Viperia. That's probably him you're referring to." Ariados said. "Wait, what am I doing? I'm working."
"Apologies in advance, but you won't defeat me. I know my way around Poison-types." Sachiko said.
"Oh really? I'll enjoy tangling you up in my web." Ariados said shooting some thread at her.
"Tiger Blitz!" Sachiko said as she dealt a thrust, then an upward slash. "Bone Crusher!" she said as she dealt a spinning slash, then a side slash in the opposite direction.
"Gah!" Ariados cried as he fell from the ceiling to the ground.
"Whew… Didn't even break a sweat on that one." Sachiko said.
"You! Hold it right there!" a voice shouted as James spotted Sachiko. "Okay you, fess up. What have you done with my alien?"
"Your alien? What are you talking about? I haven't seen any aliens since I got here." Sachiko said.
It was just then the alien in question walked right into the room.
"Um… Is it supposed to move on its own?" Sachiko asked.
"No..no it is…" James said before the alien encased him in slime.
"Oh, crap. I gotta get out of here." Sachiko said as she started running.
Meanwhile, deeper in the factory…
"I've just about had it with these spiders!" Eddy shouted as he threw one of the Spinarak into a few other soldiers, knocking them to the ground.
"It just goes to show you how determined the Kingdoms can be!" Hope said fighting off a group of Spinarak. "Trust me when I say that when they set their sights on conquest, they don't let up till they're defeated!"
"Will you two battle maniacs settle down? One of them is Shun's Perfect Link." David said.
"Right…" Hope said easing up. "Sorry, David."
"Yeah, you're right." Eddy agreed. "But how're we supposed to find 'em when they all look the same?"
"You aren't listening...we aren't here to fight them off, we're here to find…" Pit said as the alien burst through a wall. "Alien?!"
"How did this thing find us?!" David asked.
"No idea...but I think I know how it's moving!" Eddy said as he saw the eye of XANA on it.
"Wow...he really went all out this time." Pit said as one of its tentacles grabbed his throat.
"Pit!" David shouted.
"Quick...get to the scanners, deactivate the tower…" Pit said.
"But we can't just leave you. You'll die before we even get there." Dan said.
"Oh...this is going to…" Pit said before the alien went and shut down. "Huh?"
"You know, you guys were way too slow on this." Miu said standing nearby.
"Man, Miu. You're a lifesaver." David said.
"Yeah...you should be thanking Aelita. We were able to get her to the tower before this guy could finish the job." Miu said. "Man this thing is hideous."
"You're telling me." David said.
"I'll tell you what, David…" Hope said. "I'm making sure we don't rent any horror movies again."
"Yeah, like that's gonna stop some of these guys." David said as the RTTP was activated.
It took them back to earlier in the day during the site scouting.
"So, you've decided to use the factory as a film site, huh?" David asked.
"Well, my ideas are usually ingenious." James said.
"Really now? Because I've heard rumors that some other movies were shot there." David said.
"What?!" James exclaimed.
"Oh yeah. A few of them even featured aliens." David said.
James then got his cell out and headed outside. "I've given it some thought and I don't think the factory's a good idea. Besides, it wasn't my idea in the first place. You know, I can find another producer." he said.
David went back to the school group.
"Nice." Odd said.
"Ah, it was nothing. Besides, it's for the best." David said.
"Yep. I think even those bugs won't be lurking around anytime soon." Sachiko said.
"Not after the beating you gave them." David said.
Meanwhile, in the bug kingdom…
"We lost...to that girl? How humiliating." Ariados said.
"We're never going to live this down." Galvantula said.
"Wait, you two went out?" a Scyther asked. "Then...who was watching the jail?"
"Wait...don't tell us." Galvantula started.
"Oh...crap." Ariados said looking at an empty cell. "We really need to talk about the king and his judgments."
"Or...we could talk to...him." Galvantula said.
"Ah...yeah. He's been in thought for many years. The smartest person in all of Chrysalia...maybe even all the kingdoms...the kingdom's top thinker and strategist...Orbeetle." Ariados said.
